3285 "Usability problem with ""interfaces list"" in configure Network panel" vladimirvv "First, thanks for the great tool!
Second, I'd like to point some usability problem:
1)
- when choose Host Interface option => *list* with available interfaces become active, but it's not clear that selection in that list is so important.
If instead usual list there were items with radio buttons it will be easier to understand that selection is so important.
+ when you wifi connected it's preferable to have wifi interface ""selected"" by default, when wired connection => select bge (or other) by default
2) I have wired connection at work and wifi at home (both DHCP)
when I shutdown VM at work and start it again at home => I have to remember to change used network interface. It would be great to see, that now wired interface is down on general page in Network section (i.e. red text color)
Thanks!
Vladimir
